About Word Game Clues

Word Game Clues is an independent site with one job: get you unstuck on today’s word puzzle without ruining it for you.

We publish fresh hints and answers every day for 22 daily games: Wordle, NYT Connections and Connections Sports Edition, Strands, Spelling Bee, Letter Boxed, Pips, Sudoku, the Crossword, Midi and Mini Crossword, Contexto, Quordle, Octordle, Waffle, Phrazle, the Daily Jumble, Keyword, Blossom, Minute Cryptic, Betweenle, and Bracket City. Alongside the daily pages, our word finder tools help you unscramble letters or look up words by their first letter, last letter, a letter they contain, or their exact length.

Why we built it this way

Most answer sites print the solution at the top of the page, wrapped in ads and filler. One careless scroll and your puzzle is over.

We built the opposite. Every page here follows the same three rules:

1. Hints come first, gentle before generous. Each puzzle gets a ladder of hints you reveal one at a time, so you take exactly as much help as you want and no more.
2. Answers only appear when you tap. The full solution sits inside a locked box. Nothing answer-shaped is visible on the page, in a preview, or in a page title until you ask for it.
3. The record stays honest. Difficulty ratings are computed from the answer itself, archives show real dates and puzzle numbers, and we don’t invent facts to fill space.

Who runs it

Amit Yadav founded Word Game Clues and edits every daily page. He has played Wordle, Connections, Strands and the other NYT puzzles every day since 2022. Outside of puzzles he writes about apps, games and useful websites on TheTechBasket. You can also find him on X and Facebook.

How each page is made

1. Answers come from the official source. Every answer is pulled from the publisher’s own puzzle data shortly after release, never copied from another answer site.
2. Hints follow written rules. Each game’s hint ladder follows rules Amit wrote and reviews: gentle hints first (letter patterns, word lengths, themes), then progressively stronger ones, with the answer last.
3. Pages are checked daily. An automated check flags any game that did not update on time, and the page shows when it was last updated.
4. Definitions are credited. Word meanings come from Wiktionary under CC BY-SA and are linked on the page.

How our guides are written

Alongside the daily pages, our guides cover strategy, rules, and what to play next. They follow a written standard:

• Rules are checked against the source. Game mechanics, limits, and release times come from each publisher’s own help pages, or from our game reference when that agrees with them. A detail we can’t confirm is left out rather than guessed.
• No invented numbers. We don’t make up statistics, player counts, or history.
• No spoilers. Examples in guides are made up. Real answers only ever appear behind a tap on the daily pages.
• Useful or not published. Each guide answers one question a player actually has. We would rather publish fewer pages than thin ones.

Corrections policy

If something is wrong, we fix it as soon as we confirm it, usually the same day. Answer errors are corrected on the page itself rather than quietly swapped, and the “Updated” time on the page changes with the fix. Send corrections to [email protected] with the game and date.

We are not affiliated with The New York Times, Merriam-Webster, or any game publisher. Wordle, Connections, Strands, and the other game names are trademarks of their respective owners. We just help you finish their puzzles with your streak intact.

Spotted a mistake?

Puzzle feeds occasionally hiccup, and we’d rather hear about it than not. If an answer looks wrong or a page looks broken, tell us and we’ll fix it.
